Window display light-' ing must be curtailed. Don’t let a light burn that does not serve its real purpose.

The Mexicans have no doubt learn- 1 ed that Uncle Sam means business and that it would be folly foi* them to start “something." Not alone Mexcio. but tiie world is forced to respect our government. The city has a ten day coal supply at the waterworks plant. After this is used and if the strike continues, it is doubtful if enough coal can be secured to keep the municipal plant running full blast, the railroads having already confiscated seven cars of coal consigned to Decatur within the last ten days.

I DID NOT SELL ENTIRE HERD | Geneva. Ind.. Dec. 5. 1919 Decatur Daily Democrat. Dear Sirs:— j I note in the Democrat announcement that 1 sold my entire herd of, Red Poll cattle at Chicago. How this ' could gain current 1 am not able to say. however allow me to correct the I statement. We did sell live head of imr show herd, consisting ot outherd bull, two y»ar old heifer, two 1 yea-ling heifers and one heifer calf for the modest amount which you I mentioned in the issue. W<- did this because Harvey, the junior memlier 'of the firm, retires January Ist to a farm of his own which he purchased 'during the summer, and his brother. 1 Erank, who has been employed with the Packard people, at Detroit, since he has been home f-orn the service, will become the junior member of. the firm. As it will require some time and effort on Prank’s part to , look around for horses, farm tools and other things necessary to get reestablished on the farm, we decided not to show over the 1920 tai- circuit but will we hope be ready for, the 1921 fair season as strong as • ever. 1 desire to ad that we could , have obtained more for the five head t above mentioned had we sold them separately to the several individual herds throughout the United States, but wishing to keep them as near home as possible where they could do our home folks some good if they so desired and anxious to see them go to a gtxtd home and so- other reasons that would not be interest-.' ing to the average reader. We placed them in the hands of one who is not an entire stranger to the people of old Adams county, but who has been tiie senior member of Etzier w Moses . of Berkshire tame. This firm, howev-r was dissolved some years ago when Carl Moses, of Decatur. left to east his lot with West-e-n Canada. Mr. Etzier is located 2 miles South of Convoy. O. This will give me at least one year of a recess after a continual unbroken chain of thirty-one years in the show ring. ! But please retain the impression that our herd is not dispensed but merely a draft of five head of our. good ones go to a good home. Thank you, GEO. INEICHEN. The article published in the Daily Democrat was sent to us by Mr. J. L. Johnson, of Purdue University. who attended the stock show. Mr. and Mrs. John Kaeser of Gen ' eva Ind., were business visitors in the city this morning. CHICHESTER S PILLS THE DIAMOND BRAND. A Ladim! Aak yj»nr Drurrlnl /a, ■ / u fF-KA Chl-ehea-ter a /, ..

December, 1619. Christmas is coining, filled with yuletide cheer, with the sweet ( and honest happiness for what . we have, what we care to have, what we have given. Such a tei riffle ■ price has been paid in money and 1 men for the war. that we should not forget a single lesson or good thing that the war has taught us, so let us not forget our country this Christmas, help the Red Cross the Health Crusaders who do such good work among the children. You will be doing something in a patriotic way. but ifter all you are giving for you get. you are getting more than your value back, you are saving lives you are adding to world s happiness. The government needs billions of dollars to meet the war bills, congress has authorized an issue of two billion dollars worth of War Saving stamps in 1919. The treasury department hopes that the American p; ople will find jt possible to invest in a very great part of this amount, its one way to invest small amounts safely and meet returns, so buy just what we need, save what we should invest what we can. let's make thrift an enduring habit, thrift means the good management of business of living. Americanization has been made an important part of the work of Federation of Clubs. Americanization of the foreign-bo-n in our country is one of the vital problems the war has brought to us. if we have no foreigners in our midst, let s Americanize some of the Anireican homes, and give every child a chance, our children are not safe until the community is safe. In education the clubs have been urged to know the needs of the school, and bring these needs before its membership, more than 100,000 teaching positions in the United States are either vacant or filled by ! teachers not qualified to teach, it ba ; been proven that education is vitally related to national welfare, and to assure its promotion an educational

bill is now before congress, to estabi lish a department of education with t secretary in the president’s cabinet t with an appropriation of money to t promote education. : This bill is called the Smith Town1 er Educational bill, introduced in the t house by Congressman Horace M. ; Towner of lowa and in senate by , Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. i Let the clubs endorse this educa- • tignal move by writing to our repreI sentative in congress and senators. The Indiana Federation of Clubs i wishes clubs not federated to con- ■ sider the ever-increasing value of 1 : federation. Federation means power. | The relation of the State Federa-j ■ tion to the individual club has been likened to that of the rim of the : wheel. The individual club is the - ■ hub. tlie various interest of club 1 i work being the spokes, forming the : wheel of power to carry forward I great movements* I Each individual owes it to himself and his fellowmen that a community j shall be the better because he lives in it, each club should feel a like re-' sponsibility, and lose noopportunity 1 11’ 1 to leave its impress upon both the t community and the state It is to | this end that the State Federation is I putting forth its best efforts to I unite the women of Indiana in a I great forward movement which shall I bring the life of its people up to the I highest state of development. i And women of the unfederated I clubs, will you not join with it in its I effort thus lightening the task and I hastening the end in view. I We have gone through the fire, we I have learned service and self-sac- I rifice; we can see the man and worn- I an of the future in equality, social, I political, a’nd intellectual, when the I woman is free at last to develop and I use her intellect, as the average worn- I an knows that she has never yet I .been free to do so.

TIME TO STOP. LOOK AND LISTEN “— Washington, December 4—"lf the men in the United Staterefuse to work when they have the opportunity could only s e . * K ° condition of mankind In Europe they would go to work and be 'th ful of the opportunity to earn a living." ' ank ’ This statement was made today by John Callan O'Liughlin, f,,,newspaper correspondent of international reputation, who is just m from Europe, where he went on a business mission. His tri- JKk him through England, France, Italy, the new Cxecito-Slovuk and well over Austria. u ic "The people cf the United States hvae no conception of the corm tions over there," said he. "When you tell them that thousands i/' ' thousands of men. women and children are actually starving the POn fuse to believe it, and yet this is the fact. In Austria, starvat * stalks on every hand. I spent some days in Vienna. A meal at th' hotel, consisting of a piece of fowl, a bit of bread and a little' frui? costs the equivalent of thirty American dollars. If the people of the' United States who are displaying so much unrest could only fle t glimpse of what Europe is going through they would certainl - change their ways.” Death from cold and starvation awaits from 5,000.000 to 10,000 000 persons in Europe and the near east this winter and nothing but miracle can prevent the disaster, Henry Morgenthau, former ambas sador to Turkey, said in an address here last night. “You can travel for days in eastern Europe and see only emaciated faces and gaze into eyes that arc dull from lack of food," said iw Morganthau. "Shall we stand aside, while Europe flounders in agony into dissolution, or are we to rise to our opportunity and our duty and rescue the suffering people? The great impulse must come from this side of the Atlantic. Euope is today facing a dissolution not unlike that which occurred when the Roman empire fell. Emerson said that ‘America represented God’s last attempt to save mankind.' and it looks a S though the time when we were to make good the prophecy has arrived “All the testimony is that everything in Europe waits on the treaty of peace with Germany. This means that. Europe is waiting on the United States senate." —Indianapolis News.

Ask for three-quarters of an ouuoe of Jientholized Arcine—that’s all you need and after y< n have mixed it with enough boiled water to make a pint, gargle the throat twice daily and snuff or spray some up the nostrils, as directed. The tender nostrils will soon lose their oreness, heal up, an Ibo clean and healthy.
